Mercy Asher lived with her parents in Colorado as a member of a religious cult until the day she accused the leader, Pastor Matthew Brozek, of molesting her. Branded a liar, the 15-year-old fled, unaware that on that same night she left, the pastor was beaten into a coma and his wife killed. Twenty years later, Mercy has reinvented herself as a well-known and sought-after jewelry designer named Iris Dashwood. When she learns that the pastor has awakened from his long coma, her muse deserts her and she must return to the tiny town of Lone Pine to confront the terrible things that happened.
VERDICT DiSilverio is acclaimed for her three cozy series ("Readaholics"; "Swift Investigations"; "Mall Cop"). Here, she delivers an outstanding, dark stand-alone that twists and turns between flashbacks and current-day events. Mercy/Iris, a flawed and tragic woman, must overcome her past in order to have a future. When all the secrets come to the surface, no one will be left undamaged. An excellent read for Megan Abbott or Kate Morton aficionados.
